So I was playing a game and was having some extreme lag. I asked the guy if I could pause for a second and he said sure, so while I'm trying to fix the lag I get greeted with starcraft sounds through my headset only to alt tab back in and see he has resumed the game. This was early on in the game so he got an advantage over me, and just rolled right over me. I was pissed so I verbally attacked him about it and afterwards he messaged me
"Jaguar: gg little little noob
Jaguar has reconnected.
Jaguar: noob biach"
What am I supposed to do in this situation?
[EDIT]
Alright so I cooled down and I guess what I really want to know is:
Poll: Does blizzard need to do something about their pause system or is it oNo it's fine how it is (261) 62% It's not a good system, but there isn't a better one. (104) 25% Yes please fix it (58) 14% 423 total votes Your vote: Does blizzard need to do something about their pause system or is it o (Vote): Yes please fix it
(Vote): No it's fine how it is
(Vote): It's not a good system, but there isn't a better one.

Accept the fact that you lost 1 insignificant game to a stranger on the internet and that you should just ignore it and move one.
|
Oh thanks for the help.
I understand I lost 1 game but I mean, what am I supposed to do next time? Play with a 2 second delay between everything I do? I don't like blizzards pausing idea.
|
Nothing, there is nothing you can do. He was a douche, but you put yourself in that danger by pausing. It is BM by him, but not cheating or anything.
EDIT: Don't like Blizzard's pausing idea? Well, what do you want from them, a pause your opponent cant resume on? If you want to avoid this altogether you have to fix your system beforehand to avoid lag. You have no right to complain, really.
|
Nothing you can do lol...
Just hope that the other guy doesn't unpause
|
Alright, I guess now that I've cooled down the real question I want to ask is:
Does blizzard need to do something about their pause system or is it ok the way it is?
I added a poll at the top.

Sure.
A say.... 30 second pause that the other person cannot un-pause, that you can only do once per match.
Would that be so big a problem? Is your 30 seconds so important to you?

Well your case might be genuine,but from my experience most of the times when the someone tries to pause the game it's normally because they're losing, and they just try to sit on it hoping for a disconnect, so the only solution is for you to allow unpausing by the opponent.

I don't understand why people cry when other people unpause, Its just a ladder game and most people will pause for you but if they don't just get over it. What are you going to do report him to the fbi? In tournies people aren't going to do this crap but its just ladder. I swear to god man some people take this game a little bit too seriously
|
If it was my system that's one thing but it was my brother being stupid on itunes, which I have no control over. Of course about 10 seconds after the game resumed I thought of this and yelled at him to stop and voila problem solved. I like Fa1nT's idea of a 1 time 30 second pause.
|
Yeah there should be a short time before your opponent can unpause
|
I would have waited for you  I've paused the game several times to go answer the door or something and I haven't been taken advantage of yet. Some people are just douches
edit: The 1 time only 30 second pause seems like a nice solution. Though I believe there are more situations where people pause for shits when they have lost, so this feature would probably be more of an annoyance to me 
|
So you want to change how battle.net works over one game you had where someone unpaused and lost 10 points? Doesn't seem very reasonable to me. Being able to pause is a courtesy, how would you like it if during a middle of a battle you just pause just to annoy the other guy or pause before you ragequit. It will easily be abused, the way it works currently is fine.
|
Why don't they do a system like madden where you have 3 pauses for like 30 seconds or something. That way you can pause, but you can't drive everyone insane with pausing.
Seems simply enough to me.
|
All you can do is hope. I wait only if the person gives me a reason before going off, and give them 10 seconds to give a reason, which is adequate, imo.
I would never unpause just to get 10 points :l, but I would unpause if I think you just do it for no reason.
|
I think it's best the way it is. I would hate for ppl to pause without saying anything and i have to wait until they resume. Even a 30 second wait is a lot if your opponent is a douch and just pauses without saying anything.
|
This poll is so vague that it means nothing. If you made a pause that wasn't unpausable by the other player, people would still complain. It's fine as it is now -- it's not like you can pause multiplayer matches in other games either. Either pause and hope for the best or don't.
|
Yeah just have timeouts like any other sport
|
On the ladder, play to get better, not to win.
So you lost because the guy took a cheap shot. Next game.

Imagine having to wait for 90s before you win. This system is bound to be abused and be irritating as hell.
